  • Claudia Munoz

    I must say I'm a bit ambivalent about this Claudia Munoz news feature (complete with video).

    It's all fine and good that Claudia still loves the game so much after 10 plus years of intense study (choosing virtual school so that she would have more time for chess). And I am rather fond of her blog/chess web site.

    Nonetheless, to only be rated 1982 FIDE/2051 USCF at her age has to be a tad disheartening. Claudia is currently the 29th/30th best female junior in the U.S. and has been passed by a full 1/2 dozen girls aged 11 and 12. Her dream of someday sitting in Anand's or Carlsen's chair is clearly Panglossian to the extreme.
